<TITLE>figuring out fonts - part 2</TITLE>

<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>It is a good thing that GRASS has a set of fonts that can be guaranteed to be present, regardless of the system. These are the venerable stroke fonts. But these fonts are ugly and hard to read. Romans just doesn’t stand out well in a scale or legend, for example, unless against a white background and even then it is not clear at a distance for presentations.<BR>
<BR>
So here is a question. Can GRASS ship with a better set of fonts? Can it come with a minimal TrueType set, for example, that could be guaranteed present regardless of the system? Or is this technically not realistically feasible?<BR>
